ABSTRACT The development of people's ability totranslate figurative speech was studied, using sentences con­taining metaphors, dual function words, and proverbs, aspresented in classroom workbooks. One hundred twentychildren from first, third, fifth, and seventh grades wereasked to describe the meaning of each figurative word orphrase placed in context. Responses were scored on a four­point scale indicating the extent to which the child used aliteral or figurative translation. Significant effects betweengrade levels and figurative conditions were found, indicatingthat the ability to translate figurative speech proceeds alonga developmental hierarchy of language comprehension. Themajority of third grade children were able to translate meta­phors and dual function words into figurative language suc­cessfully. The ability to translate proverbs required a levelof comprehension that does not appear in most childrenuntil seventh grade, as suggested by recent review of the psychological literature onmetaphor suggests a strong relationship betweenmetaphor comprehension and Piaget's cognitive stagesof thought development (3). Piagetian theory suggeststhat children from seven to twelve years of age developa broad range of transformational skills that allows themto operate on reality, building a repertoire of symbolsand signs (8). This display of cognitive growth representsan enormous expansion of power and abstraction in thatit frees children from the literal aspects of their percep­ and Piaget suggest that the capacity for poeticusage and the ability to operate on linguistic elementsmay be the last facet of language to develop (3). Theauthors' experiences in third grade classrooms, whileobserving children's understanding of figurative speechas presented in reading workbooks, revealed a wide rangeof abilities in the children's interpretation of metaphorsand proverbs at the concrete operations period of develop­ment. Some children had an immediate grasp of the mul­tiple meanings of terms, while others, regardless of theamount of explanation given, could not override theircognitive ties to the literal suggests that the capacity to understandmetaphoric speech occurs at an age beyond the preschoollevel (5). An early study investigated the development ofchildren's ability to understand dual function words,terms that have a joint reference in language to bothphysical and psychological data (1). For example, suchwords as "cold" and "warm" denote thermal propertiesand can serve a dual function in describing psychologicalaspects of people. The authors suggested that these termsare an elementary instance of metaphorical thinking andinvestigated the order in which children's understandingof dual terms emerged. Results indicated that childrenfrom three to seven are sensitive only to the literal trans­lation, while seven- to eight-year olds demonstrate thebeginning of the ability to use the psychological sense ofthe terms. The ability to state the dual function of theterms was clearly developed in the twelve-year-old group(for example, "hard things and hard people are bothunmanageable").Further work examined the ability of preschool child­ren to make metaphoric links, to perceive relationshipsamong disparate phenomena (6). Children, ages three tonineteen, were asked to indicate their knowledge ofliteral meanings of word pairs and then project them ontosensory domains using metaphoric skills. In contrast toearlier findings, these results indicated that the capacityfor metaphoric association between sensory modalitiesand adjectives was evident in young recent investigation found a developmental trendtoward the comprehension of metaphors, though it con­cluded that not until the age of ten were children ableto demonstrate metaphoric understanding of dual func­tion words (12).The ability to understand proverbs has been explainedby Piaget as part of the development of cognitive think­ing (10). He proposed that children from nine to elevenyears of age use a simple projection of the proverb intosentences by process of immediate fusion. At this level,there is no analysis of detail in comprehending proverbs,but a general fusion of two propositions without analysisof their meanings. Piaget believed that this phenomenonprecedes the development of logical thinking, that theability to translate proverbs does not occur until theformal operations present study examined the relationship amongmetaphors, dual function words, and proverbs, specificallylooking at children's ability to translate classroom materialpresented in context.

[摘要]汉语歇后语是中华语言的奇葩，反映了汉族独特的民族文化。文章探讨了歇后语的英译名，从修辞方面对歇后语进行了分型，分两部分探讨了歇后语的翻译方法。

[关键词]歇后语 类型 翻译

一、歇后语的英译名

汉语中的歇后语是人民群众在生活实践中创造的一种特殊语言形式，生动形象、诙谐幽默，为广大群众所喜闻乐见。其结构形式为汉语所独有，其内容反映了汉族丰富独特的民族文化，具有极强的民族性。

对“歇后语”一词的翻译，有几种观点。罗胜豪教授翻译为“Chineseenigmatic folk similes”[1]，这一译法的缺点是歇后语中不全是比喻，也有谐音或双关式歇后语。有人翻译为“quiz-cracks”(隐语或谜语)，同样也不全面。于是有人提议直接翻译为“xiehouyu in Chinese”，这倒是有一定的可借鉴性。但是，追根溯源，歇后语最早是文人之间的一种文字游戏，最早叫做“俏皮话”，因此，有人据此大胆翻译为Chinese folk wisecracks[2]。

二、歇后语的类型

汉语歇后语一般由前后两部分构成，前半部分是形象的比喻，像谜面，后半部分是注解说明，像谜底，十分自然贴切。玄妙的是，我们在这个比喻里面通常只能找到喻体(前半句)，本体并不出现，其前后两部分属于“引子”和“注释”的关系，简称为“引注关系”，这是歇后语的典型特征[3]。

从修辞的角度，歇后语分为两大类，即：纯比喻式歇后语和比喻双关式歇后语。

纯比喻式歇后语的上下文所描写的事物有相通之处，前面是一个比喻，后面则是喻意。比如：狗咬吕洞宾———不识好人心，黄鼠狼给鸡拜年———不怀好意，天上的云———无拘无束，八仙过海———各显神通等等。其所包含的喻体常涉及到一些脍炙人口的典故。

比喻双关式歇后语也包含比喻，同时包含双关。它运用谐音或词语语义上的双关，通过联想来表达意义，其语言效果要通过联想来实现。

此类歇后语的数量较少，比如，孔夫子搬家———净是输(书)(谐音双关)，章鱼的肚子———有墨水(语意相关)等等。和纯比喻式歇后语相比，这类歇后语较为曲折，常能使人恍然大悟，谐趣顿生。

需要指出的是，一些常见的歇后语因为人们大多知道其后半部分的词句，也可以仅用前半部分，而第二部分不出现。如：这事八字还没有一撇呢等等。

三、纯比喻性歇后语的翻译方法

(一)直译法

对大多数喻义歇后语，由于比喻部分生动形象，喻意部分逻辑推理合乎情理，且不包含一词两义的双关或谐音，通常采用直译法，既传达源语的内容，又维持源语的形象，便于读者阅读和欣赏。例如：瞎子点灯———白费蜡。It is as useless as a blind man lighting a can-dle.

黄鼠狼给鸡拜年———不怀好意。A weasel wishing Happy NewYearto a chicken harbors no good intention.

肉包子打狗———有去无回。To chase a dog by throwing meatdumplings at it———you never expect it to return.

竹篮打水———一场空。Like ladling water with a wicker basket-all isempty.

八仙过海———各显其能。The Eight Immortals crossing the sea-eachshowing his or her special prowess.(Each of them shows their true worth.)(二)套译法也叫套用法或借用法，是歇后语翻译中常见的方法。当在英汉翻译中无法保留原语中的形象时，可以套用译语读者所熟悉的形象，使译文更容易为译语读者所接受，也能达到语义对等的效果。例如：梅香拜把子———都是奴才。We’re all birds of a feather–all slaveshere.

(Note:“梅香”refers to any maid servants in the old society;and“拜把子”refers to a Chinese traditional etiquette,which means the persons are nowbrothers or sister in low)

四、谐音谐意双关式歇后语的翻译方法

对于谐音或双关式歇后语，正如前面所言，是翻译中的难点。笔者认为，歇后语尽管是汉语中独特的语言现象，有着丰富的文化意蕴，尤其是谐音及双关式歇后语涉及多种修辞，可以成为翻译的障碍;但是，人类思维的共性使得操不同语言的民族间可以对话，只要交际成为可能，翻译就能够实现。这是翻译———包括笔头的和口头的翻译实现的理论基础。

著名翻译理论家尤金·奈达认为，翻译即是在译入语中用最贴切和最自然的语言再现原文的信息，实现翻译的功能对等。语言是文化的载体，在异域语言的传译中不可避免会有文化的偏离乃至缺失，如要做到功能的对等，最大限度地减少信息的损耗，就需要对所缺失的部分进行补偿。所谓补偿，就是以目的语手段为主，辅之以符合目的语规约和规范的其他手段，根据文本类型和翻译目的对翻译过程中潜在的或发生的损失进行修复和弥补。作为俗语的一种，歇后语中的大量文化信息更容易流失，所以需要译者综观权衡的前提进行补偿，才能够让读者更加容易地理解和接受。笔者分析了数百条双关式歇后语及其英译后，总结了以下方法：

(一)直译加注法

歇后语的`前半部分是一个容易让译语读者理解的比喻，采用直译;半部分包含了谐音或是语义双关，采用加注的方法译之。例如：咸菜烧豆腐———有盐在先(有言在先)。

Salted vegetables with bean curd—there is salt at the beginning,(pun)there are words beforehand.(Note:In this expression,“言”(words)and“盐”(salt)are homophones in Chinese.)三十晚上贴“福”字———倒着贴Putting up the character”fu”on the New Year’s Eve———putted upsidedown.(Note:This refers to the traditional Chinese custom of putting up thecharacter“福”upside down to impl“y福到了”,which means your good luckhas arrived.)

(二)意译法

对于某些采用双关手法的歇后语，不论是谐音还是谐意，都可采用解释性意译的翻译方法。保留原来的文化色彩，并加上简要的解释说明以突出其形象性。例如：牛角抹油———又尖(奸)又滑(猾)Spreading oil on an ox horn———to make it sharper and more slippery orcunning and treacherous.

原歇后语涉及到两组谐音词，该句的翻译只是在句子中略作解释，加上了cunning和treacherous两个单词，就形象的说明了某人的性格。

擀面杖吹火———一窍不通Arollingpin used as a bellows—nogood atall.

擀面杖是中国传统炊具，因由实木做成所以不可能有窍，该句用于比喻某人对事物一无所知。该歇后语涉及到语义的双关，“一窍不通”既是对擀面杖的描摹，又是对人的一种比喻，翻译的处理“nogood at all”，可以说把握住了这个比喻的精神内核，言简意赅，是非常成功的译例。
